If you had a chance to ask Coach Nate a few questions what would they be?

1. Why don't you start your best line-up?
2. Why don't you ride the hot hand?
3. Why are your substitutions always the same and at the same points during the game?
4. Why do you always switch on screens and sometimes switch in anticipation of the screen? How come it wasn't until the Rockets game that you realized you could have the player switch back?
5. Why don't you let your players call plays?
6. Why do you start and rely on Steve Blake?
7. Why isn't your offense more post oriented?
8. Why on God's green Earth haven't you taught your team how to make an entry lob to Greg Oden? Shouldn't you know how to do that having been a PG?
9. How come your team never passes to the roller on the pick and roll?
10. Did a fast break rape your family? If not why doesn't your team know how to run one?
Long live the Sonics!

Is "WTF?" a question?

:lol: I suppose so. But what I had in mind is stuff like, "why do you seem to think Travis and Steve are better than Andre and Rudy"? 8-)

How do you put up with all these fans that don't know the difference between disliking something and vehemently hating something so much that they must constantly repeat their illogical hatred at every possible moment?

Sounds like you hate what you've become or maybe it's that you've become what you hate.

Fair enough. How about "do you pick out your own game clothes, or is that something your wife specializes in?" Followed up with "do you have to get those weird squared off collars custom made, or is there a high-end boutique somewhere you visit to get them?"

What can I say--Nate's got a unique fashion sense and I don't think we've explored it in depth. We've explored just about everything else.

1. How does it feel to have been instrumental in the resurgence of the Blazers' winning tradition?

2. Do the fickle fans bother you?

3. Do you pay attention to the "arm chair coaches" on message boards who think they are better coaches than you? If so, what names do you refer to them by when having a beer with Brandon Roy after a game?

4. Were you involved with the pursuit of Andre Miller in the offseason? If yes, did you know at the time that he and Brandon would have issues gelling on the floor because of their similar styles of play? If no, were you dropped on your head as a child?

5. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

6. If the moon was made of cheese, would you eat it?

7. If the moon were made of spare ribs, would you eat it?

8. Can I have $100,000?

9. Do you think Stan VanGundy looks like Ron Jeremy?

10. Do you think clowns are scary?

11. What's the deal with global warming anyway?

12. If you could bare the child of any player in the league, who would it be?

13. Do you think jeffhardyfan52 knows how to use spell check?

14. If you were a hot dog, would you eat yourself?

15. Did you know that "a man a plan a canal panama" is a palindrome?

16. Do you know what a palindrome is?

17. Where did I leave my keys?

18. Did Phil Mickelson really eat Hugh Grant?

19. Whats the deal with all the motion sensors in public bathrooms for the water, soap & hand dryers when you have to grab the door handle when you leave?

20. Is Starwars a really good movie, or was it just good for the time it was made?

21. Do you think Kobe did it?

22. Can I have $100?

Those are the ten I would vote for!

Why did you decide it'd be a wise decision to go a good portion of the 4th quarter without a center? Especially in light of the fact that we were getting dominated on rebounds and points in the paint. Additionally in light of Joel only having two fouls and Greg having four.
